If you've ever spent 5 minutes hunting through Teams trying to find a meeting recording, there's a feature you should be using.

It's called the Meet app, and it's already built into Teams. No Copilot license required.

The Meet app gives you a single dashboard for every meeting you've had or are about to have. Click on any meeting and you get the agenda, recording, transcript, chat, and shared files, all in one place.

To find it:

1. Open Teams

2. Click the three dots on the left navigation bar

3. Search for "Meet"

4. Right-click and pin it so it stays in your sidebar

Once pinned, you'll see two views: upcoming meetings and past meetings. Click any past meeting to see everything tied to it.

Finding what was discussed in last month's leadership review used to take 5 minutes of digging through your calendar, recordings, and SharePoint.

With Meet, it takes 30 seconds.

If you use Excel and Microsoft 365 Copilot, an upgrade from March 2026 might save you hours every week.

It's called Work IQ, and it changes how Copilot handles spreadsheets.

Before, you had to manually feed Copilot the data you wanted it to use. Copy figures from an email, paste them into Excel, then ask Copilot to clean it up.

Now, Copilot can pull context directly from your related emails, Teams chats, meetings, and files in your Microsoft tenant. It reads the source material itself.

You can do things like:

▶️ Reconcile a vendor invoice against the quoted price by pointing Copilot at the original email thread.

▶️ Update a sales forecast based on the recap of yesterday's pipeline meeting.

▶️ Reformat a messy data dump a client sent over.

To use it, you need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and the document stored in your business tenant, not a personal OneDrive.

One note on security: Copilot can only access files the user already has permission to see.

If your SharePoint and OneDrive permissions are messy, Copilot will surface things you didn't intend to share.

Audit your file permissions before turning this loose on your team.

The one Outlook rule you need to set to save yourself from awkward conversations.

It's called "delay delivery." You set it once in classic Outlook, and from that point on every email you send sits in your Outbox for a specific time (that you set) before it leaves.

If you spot a typo, realize you sent the wrong attachment, or wrote something in frustration you wish you hadn't, you have can a standard 2-minute delay to give you enough time to stop it.

Just delete the email from your Outbox before the timer runs out.

To set it up in classic Outlook:

1. Go to File > Manage Rules & Alerts

2. Click "New Rule" and pick "Apply rule on messages I send"

3. Skip past the conditions so it applies to every email

4. Check "defer delivery by a number of minutes" and set it to 2

5. Save the rule

This is better than Outlook's built-in "Recall" feature, because it works every single time.
